History

The Northern Central Railway had a Timonium station near the modern location of the Fairgrounds station.

Prior to the opening of the Light Rail in 1992, the location was a park-and-ride lot with express bus service to downtown Baltimore. From 1992 until the opening of the Hunt Valley extension in 1997, the station was the northern terminus of the line. Cromwell (Yellow) service terminates at Fairgrounds during peak hours; a pocket track (at the unfinished Texas station to the north) is used to reverse trains.

Bus connections

York, Pennsylvania's Rabbit Transit Route 83S stops at Fairgrounds.

gollark: No.
gollark: Waaaait. Most proxying things won't forward ICMP because that would be stupid. So the ARM machine is actually within the Oracle Cloud network somehow or olog is deliberately being tricky with that "ping" there.
gollark: Hmmmm.
gollark: Hmm. Scaleway has cancelled their aarch64 servers.
